Data Journalism: new journalism of big data

Our lives have stopped being a sequence of events and actions with the advent of digital technologies: now every purchase we make or a friend we meet are a data stream. Data is generated by people, companies, governments, social events, sports, studies… Everything that is now digitized is a part of this data stream. Thus the new trend in journalism based in gathering data and analyzing it to present the audience with humanly-readable information is only a logical development and possibly the future of journalism as an industry.
